Gajraj Singh & Ors vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a draft scheme under Section 68-C of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, which was challenged by 50 operators. The Court upheld the previous judgments of the Allahabad High Court and clarified that the scheme had lapsed under Section 100(4) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, due to non-approval within one year of publication. The Court emphasized the importance of timely hearings and the implications of delays on Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, ultimately directing the government to frame a new scheme if necessary.
